Early career

2020

Blore made his first grade debut in round 11 of the 2020 NRL season for Wests Tigers against the Parramatta Eels at Bankwest Stadium where Wests lost the match 26–16.[3][4] He was said to have "stood his ground in a fiery head-to-head and came away with a points decision" against Parramatta's Nathan Brown.[5] After the match, coach Michael Maguire said, "I don't think he's played a full game of footy for about 14 months now, to see him play the way he did it was welcome to first grade that's for sure. He played a lot of time too, I didn't expect him to play that much time but he hung strong and showed he can play at this level."[5]
